Spitfires Double Up Soo 6-3
WINDSOR, ON.
The Soo Greyhounds were in town on Thursday for the final meeting between the two clubs. The Spitfires lead the season series 3-1-1 and will be looking for a 4th win against the divisional rival Soo. On Thursday, it was a tight-checking game and the Spitfires were able to come out with the 6-3 win.
In the first period, it was the Spitfires scoring first just under 5 minutes in as Davis would score on a rebound for his 19th goal of the season. Just over a minute later, Greentree would score his 48th goal of the season making it 2-0. The Soo would score two goals just 4 minutes apart and tie the game at 2 apiece. Spitfires led 12-6 in shots after 20 minutes.
In the second period, the Spitfires would strike twice Belchetz scored his 17th on a rebound and a few minutes later Ethan Garden scored his 6th goal from behind the goal-line. The Spitfires were up 4-2 with 20 more minutes to go.
In the third period, the Spitfires kept up the pressure and were able to grab a much needed 3 goal lead. Protas would score off a sweet feed from Greentree. Late in the game, the Soo would score to make it a 5-3 but Morneau would seal the deal with an empty net goal.
The Spitfires are back in action on Saturday when they travel to Saginaw. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:05pm.
